Monitoring of Forest Structure Dynamics by Means of L-Band SAR Tomography
Remote Sensing, 2017 Synthetic Aperture Radar Tomography (TomoSAR) allows the reconstruction of the 3D reflectivity of natural volume scatterers such as forests, thus providing an opportunity to infer structure information in 3D.

Determination of Structural Characteristics of Old-Growth Forest in Ukraine Using Spaceborne LiDAR
Remote Sensing, 2021 A forest’s structure changes as it progresses through developmental stages from establishment to old-growth forest. Therefore, the vertical structure of old-growth forests will differ from that of younger, managed forests.

Forest Inventory Data Provide Useful Information for Mapping Ecosystem Services Potential
Land, 2023 The ecosystem services framework is a convenient approach for identifying and mapping nature’s contributions to people, and an accurate assessment of ecosystem services potential is the first step in the decision support process of well-informed land ...
